Many travel insurance plans set a maximum age to buy, price by age, or limit cover or trip length for older travellers. Check the age limits, how pre-existing conditions are treated, and the medical and evacuation limits.
What to check
- The maximum age to buy, and to renew.
- Any limits that change with age: cover, trip length, or the excess.
- How pre-existing conditions are treated, and what must be declared.
- Medical and evacuation limits.
- Cancellation reasons that include illness of a relative or travel companion.
Read the policy wording before you buy: what’s covered, the limits, the excess and the exclusions.
